Fire and Water

1343) For many reasons I do not have time to probe psychologically, I am afraid of fire and water. I can distinctly remember when I was first married, dreaming our house was on fire. I even reached up behind the headboard to feel if the wall was hot. It took time for my heartrate to

In God’s Image

1342) I have found through the years you can tell a lot about how someone was raised by their words and actions as an adult. This is because we often imitate the period of our lives, our childhood, that was greatly influenced by those we lived with. Some learned behaviors are good, others not so

Guidance

1341) In my classroom, we do some team-building exercises. The students enthusiastically embrace these, though I’m not sure if it’s because of the activity or because they get out of regular class time. Either way, these produce many good things. One thing I’ve done is break kids into pairs. One would be blindfolded. First, the

Anger and Other Such “Unholy” Emotions

1340) If you were raised in the church as I was, you may have sensed that anger and conflict are not Christ-like. After all, Jesus cleansed the temple with “righteous anger” (Matthew 21:12-17). This implied to my young ears that if you do not have righteous anger, assuming you truly know what this means, anger,

I Want Justice!

1339) But, that’s not fair! I frequently hear these words in a classroom full of kids. But, if we’re honest, kids are not the only ones who demand fairness. Why did this happen to me when those around me don’t have to suffer? Why did I get pulled over for speeding when so many others

How Big is God?

1360) Because I grew up going to church, there were a handful of times we, as children, got into ridiculous theological arguments. I can remember being asked if God could make a rock he couldn’t move. That one had me stumped. On one hand, but on the other….. You get the idea. Luke 18:27 kind

Friendship Can Be Tricky

1351) Friendship is always tricky when you are a tween. If you observe kids around 11 or 12 years old, their friendships always sway. What I mean by this is they really don’t know the anatomy of a genuine friend. Kids this age don’t know a genuine friend is someone you can bounce things off

Choose Your Battles

1338) In any relationship you have, a wonderful ability to nurture is to choose which battles you should fight and which ones you should just leave alone. As a 20 or 30-year-old (hey, maybe even a 40-year-old), I would have fought tooth and nail against some things. There are some things we never should overlook,

Need Motivation?

1337) In my classroom, I have learned that everyone can be motivated if you discover what they value or are interested in. Currently, in my classroom, I find the kids will do almost anything in a class period if they know they will get to watch a 2-minute video of animals doing amazing or silly
